This ABANDONED Lighthouse Had So Many BIG FISH Under it!

- After fishing some jetties early in the morning I decided to make a run out to Mobile Bay where I had a particular structure in mind that I wanted to try for some bigger fish. This lighthouse has been up for over 130 years and is a great composition of steel and cables that hold it place. After a few minutes of tossing live shrimp out I quickly find out there were definitely some quality fish lurking around this historical place!

I've really noticed over the last two years how much your video editing has improved. Everything from the music to the drone footage is just awesome! Really appreciate the time you put into making these videos.
Always trying to improve the quality man. I appreciate you noticing!
Avon skin so soft and coconut oil works also. Great video. Nice stringer of sheeps. Quality fish. Thank you for sharing.
😎🍺🇺🇸🐟
Preciate ya watching! Skin so soft seems to be what the majority of people are using for them aggravating things
You are living the life! I enjoyed this video. Wish I were out there fishing. You were slaying them!
for deer flies and biting gnats(flying teeth)- use a 50-50 mix of original listerene- the bronze color-not the newer blue, and water in a spray bottle. It really works-.
I’m a new subscriber. I like the way you explain things and I would enjoy fishing with you. I’m typically only fishing on UA-cam but it’s fun to see what people are doing. I like also how you described the various products you use and why. Keep posting content and I’ll keep watching.
Yep, you found the sheep honey hole! Nice job and fun to watch!
Thanks for sharing.
They were stacked for sure! haha I appreciate ya tuning in
Great show. Just got in from duck hunting and this was a good change of pace. Thanks Cap.
Glad you enjoyed it! I’ve never been much on duck hunting
I also live in Mobile and have had good luck at that lighthouse. Great video!
Awesome to saw someone from my area on here! I’m in Daphne! Great video, I just got my first boat and have been duck hunting but can’t wait to catch some fish out of it! Little 14 ft with a 25 mariner
Yea man, thanks for watching. That boat would be great for fishing the local rivers and inland bays
love sheepshead fishing so much. havent done it in awhile since im a full time student in school but whenever i get some time off i always head down to gulf shores to get some fishin in
They are so much fun man. Im glad other people enjoy catching them as much as i do
As always great video!!!! Keepem coming
Thank you! Will do!
I live in south Texas and the sheep’s in late January run the jetties in schools from 25 to 100 strong. Not sure if they’re leaving or returning from the gulf. But it is easy pickings. Some upwards of 25”s true slabs. I catch a lot of grief here about sheep being trash fish here but I know they taste next to snapper. Great video as always. Yeet! Lol
Since I can no longer get out on a boat and fish it’s nice to see someone have success and catch some nice fish
Up north we use calico crabs for Tog fishing , depending on size how much crab u use . Also use stout pole when fishing around pilings and stanchions with 50 lb leader and 50 lb braid . Something I do is use barbless hooks , makes for easy release on smaller fish .
really great video. Keep up the great work. videos are getting better every time. Long time follower.
Much appreciated! And will do for sure
That's a great day in anyone's book for this time of year! Reminds me of catching big sheeps under the Ponce Inlet bell buoy years ago. I like that liitle Engel bait box too!
Man it’s so convenient. It’ll keep shrimp alive for days with that little bubbler going and the rod holders add a nice touch
Great video. Looks like a lot of fun with the sheepshead bite.
Thanks! Them convicts are always fun
I’d love to see a catch, clean, and cook! Another great vid man!
Thanks, ill try and out one out here soon!
@@CaptCollier thank you!
Nice relaxing chill video my dude, perfect for the first video of the morning. I live big ol sheepies
Glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely amazing fish. Would love to catch some of those down here in South Florida that size they have been very small this year. Keep the videos coming. Totally enjoy watching the videos.
Thanks for watching, it does seem like they are typically bigger on average over this way.
If you wanna make a trip to the Sarasota area you should. Been catch sheepshead between 12-18 inches for the past few months. Find any bridge or rock pile and your good. Shrimp cut in half seem to work best.
Their smaller because ..this fishery is now Severely overfished in East Florida largely because of the You Tube Hype Publicity of a species once considered a trash fish.And now we have people stupid enough to have Sheepshead TOURNAMENTS for Money.. A Nightmare & DISASTER
Nice vid capt love them sheep, looks like you were on the struggle bus tryin to net that big one love watching your vids keep em coming 👏👍
Haha I was. I’m better off just Yeeting them in the boat. And will do
Booked with you next weekend. Hope the weather holds for us. My grandson is so excited. His first sheep trip.
Yessir I hope it does too. I look forward to putting y’all on some!
My first time watching. So Awesome and Enjoyable to watch 👍🏾
Awesome,Glad you enjoyed it!
Out in the woods logging we used to hang a scented dryer sheet off the back of our hat. Seemed to work. Great video.
Someone else mentioned that as well, I’d be willing to bet y’all are on to something with those dryer sheets. Interesting lol and thanks
Those are some beautiful Sheeps!! One of my favorite fish to eat!! Sometimes I roast or boil (using crab boil) and use the meat for flounder stuffing. Since they eat crustaceans, it’s an alternative for crabmeat. They are truly delicious!!
Thanks! And wow that sounds delicious
Enjoy ur videos. The best bug repellent by for is Marshland. We are in southeast Texas and the bugs are always bad. You can order on line. Good fishing.
Another comment U catch fish I like you because u down to earth and u know how to fish and u catch them wish you would do more catch clean and cook's but your videos are off the chain, awesome
try tucking a fabric softener sheet in the back of your hat, we use this in the summer playing golf and the gnats do not really care for the scent (bounce regular scent is the one we use)
Bad ass I want to go with The Capt of all Capt Collier is the best my favorite channel.. love it nice job Cap
Thankya sir!
Getting her done. Lots of fun. Coming down in March and if I can get some overtime I'm going to take my girl on a trip for her birthday. Hopefully I will be hollering at ya to book a trip.
awesome, ill be glad to try and put yall on some. Hopefully itll be around the first week of march or the last week, im pretty booked in between
My brother said they were calling the noseeums 'flying jaws' in Florida.
Any bug juice is God send😊
😂 that’s funny. I’ve called them “flying teeth” before. It fits
Awesome vid man! My fav fish to catch and so tasty 🤙🏽
Thanks! I would have to agree with you on that
We use Sand Fleas here in Florida East coast the same way your using your shrimp. We use shrimp too but the fleas are a guarantee bite for buckteeth !
Great video, I was wondering what that structure was when we went past it on a cruise this summer.
Yep, that was this lighthouse. It’s been there for over 130 years! Hard to believe.
Cap when I still hunted I used a Therma Cell to keep the bugs away and it really worked. If the wind picked up I just clipped it to my turkey vest and it still worked with a pretty stiff breeze blowing. Small enough and not much weight at all so it doesn't get in the way.
Haven't thought about that, that's a good idea. I could probably just attach it to the ttop frame
@@CaptCollier When I crappie fish at night with a friend, I have two of them and run one in the front and back of the boat. Hope it works for ya.
Oh wow bro we went to government street together. Glad I found your channel! We hit the T channel marker next to gaillard island and got 3 reds and a bunch of white trout early this morning.
Middle Bay Light is a great fishing spot been fishing here all my life
you own them sheaphead..good day of fishin.. staysafe!
structure, deep water, current = Capt teaching...My buddy put me on a good spot identical to that first spot. Down to the passing ship and docks.
Just explaining what I know hoping it can help someone, and that’s awesome.
Another great day, Capt!
Thankya sir, hope you enjoyed it
Great day of fishing, they will taste so good!
That Run was worth it. Quality sheep. Nice Vid Brandon
Definitely! Thanks man
Buy a spray called Proven. You can get it on Amazon. I think it's 12.00- 15.00. We fish all the time out of Steinhatchee Fl & Suwannee Fl. Sand gnats are horrible!!! They make me get big welts when they bite me. A friend of mine who lives on the coast said she uses Proven. I bought some, AMAZED! They will fly all around you but I never got bit one time! And this is at the peek times of day. Early morning & late afternoon. We always have it on the boat now.
Awesome, thanks for the recommendation!
THAT HOOKSET THOUGH!!! Fishing is great but nothing like catching. I uhhh I pulled a buster move and got one of those skeeto face cover nets that you put on your hat, cuz I got tires of bugs flying in my eyes and my nose. But damn Capt them fish was grown right there. Love me some sheepshead fishing. Great Video Capt.
Haha hey thats a good idea but i dont think i could deal with that net in my face. Thanks!
Thank you for sharing this video
My pleasure, thanks for watching
@@CaptCollier Thank you
Good info great video 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks 👍 glad you enjoyed it
Cool stuff! As a West Coast guy, sheepshead are different: yours look like our surf porch, but giant
Thanks man! Id love to venture over that way for some of those pacific sheepshead. They look very cool as well!
Get some neutral oil (like almond oil or grapeseed oil or some other) and mix it with essence of cedar or cedar oil and lather up big time. Nothing is perfect for the no seeums but that formula works pretty well... God I hate those no seeums - been tortured many times late in the afternoon or at night trying to filet fish while getting bit to death, lol
That is one cool lighthouse. You mentioned Gailliard Island. Have you ever fished around it? I am guessing it is a spoil island. Really fun vid to watch.
I have. It has jetties pretty much all around it. Great flounder and trout fishing in the spring and fall
So for the gnats. What I use is Sawyers. Use the "yellow" bottle on your clothes and then the "blue" on your skin. It works well. Be sure to spray your hat.
I live and boat in Savannah GA. The gnats can be atrocious. I don’t bother with spray, it’s pretty much a waste. Just wear long sleeves and use full head cover and wear glasses. I cover everything and usually have no issues with them swarming everywhere.
Lucky you with the weather! I would much rather fish where you are than here in the Pacific Northwest!
We've been having some windy and cold days here lately this just happen to be a gorgeous day. Im sure its still better than up north though like you said
Aveno skin so soft is what use. The other stuff is mostly water
Texas gulf coast fisherman here, thanks for the video
Glad to see a Texas fishermen checking in, Preciate ya watching!
I find that vitamin B1 works well to keep the bugs away. take a dose the night before and another in the morning. The smell in on your breath and in you perspiration.
Yeetin big ole sheep, I love it! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
The best way is to install a fan in the ceiling of the tower. It will disrupt them enough. Nice channel. Thank you!
I bet that would work for sure lol little over the top though. Thanks, I appreciate it!
You need a gnat hat even goes under your hat or it's hooked to a hat and it works great and some old school style
Awesome video as always. I use Repel 100% deet. Helps some. Just don’t think the no c um can be defeated.😂
Thanks man! And I think you are right, they are unstoppable lol
Awesome video bro!
Appreciate it!
I went to Glenn County Ga. Had contact with gnats for first time. Went to a store, clerk suggested Avon Skin so soft. I put it on and walked through a swarm...looked like Moses parting the red sea.
Haha I like that analogy. I’ve got some since this video, and you’re right. It definitely works
Damn it Collier! Another awesome video it would be awesome to give away a sheepshead trip
I try.. and I may do one around March or April. The scammers are just so bad on here it makes giveaways a pain in the butt
Hey Brother…1st time viewer! Enjoyed the content. Gnat spray…..? I use a great cigar! Bugs hate cigar smoke! My personal preference!
Deep woods off..love to fish there sometime.
Around se Louisiana they use amber romance from Victoria secret for gnats. I’m on sw side of the state we don’t have much gnats here. There’s also a product called marsh romance that I’ve heard works well.
THERMACELL....get 3 or 4 of the small area units, you will love them.
Looking like that freezer is getting topped off !! 🙌
Yessir, I should be good for awhile!
Vanilla abstract. Works for me in the White River Bottoms
You are the Sheepshead slayer! Nice job Capt!
Preciate it capt! I try and stay on em
The Warden! Rounding up convicts and sentencing them to a greasy demise! I love it!!
Haha. I’ve been doing enough catch & releasing, it was time to fill the freezer and feast
In the treasure coast of Florida we use Avon skin so soft for the no see’ems
Thanks for the tip, I’ve heard it works well
Avon skin so soft, very good to keep insets out
Skin So Soft, a bath oil from Avon.
It comes in a pour bottle, but you can put some in some other spray bottles or pump lotion bottles to get little bits out and rub it on.
My aporents live up around the corner there on Fowl River and SSS is the best. Its oily, but it works well
Thanks for sharing!! Good to know it works for them fowl river no seeums!
Definitely a local legend in the making brother, love the content. You don’t bleed out your sheeps? Also have you ever thought about using a “therma cell” for the gnats n stuff?
Thanks man, idk about all that lol. And yes I do bleed them out for sure. I put them in the live well and do them all at once when I’m done fishing them soak them in a salt ice bath
@@CaptCollier ok cool, salt ice bath thats a new one for me
I don’t care what Bum says, sheeps are a blast to catch! Nice vid.
He just hasn’t been in a good bite 😉 it’s ok I’ll convince him eventually. Thanks!
OFF with 40% deet….they stil swarm you but wont land on you and bite you. Do you ever fish the river channel drop to the west of the light house?
Not very often but I have before. Bull reds, gaftops, black drum, and ground mullet
Sun screen works really good
Thats how you do it Capt!
You know!
Anything "skin so soft"by avon based is the only thing I've found that will keep the no see ems or flying teeth as we like to call them at bay for very long. You have to re apply every so often. But on a good not you will smell great
Great video my man you truly are a shepherd! lol
Haha Rounding up them sheeps
Going to try to come down and fish the light house where would you put boat in at an is there a motel near by
Get some Marsh Romance. It's made in Louisiana , smells good and it works.
skim so soft, from Avon is my favorite
Victoria Secret Amber Rose will keep the gnats and mosquitoes off. Greatest thing ever. Learned about it from a fisherman in Delecroix,La.
Hawk soap company $10 a bottle swamp fire. I’m from Louisiana. I can tell you it absolutely works well. Love you videos screaming having a good time. Catching fish, eating fish learn a lot and thoroughly entertain. Hope you try that hawk soap, company product.
Gnat mosquito repellent, I realized I didn’t put that on the reply
Electronic repeller if you can find it puts out a sound of an insect that eats them dragonflies in my area awesome on mosquitoes
Great video man !
We still looking for some CC merch ? Me and my crew would totally sport a Captain Collier hoodie or hat Doin it local on the Eastern shore.
I appreciate it! I’m working on getting a big order in soon!
On the days where there is no wind, wear a painters mask and fishing gloves. Skin so soft is my go - to
Love to come down sometime! Tight lines 👊🏼
Sounds good! Same to you
Hi did you consider a head net,they work
I'm in Mobile can you tell me where do you launch from. I'm kind of new to driving my own boat I used to ride on other people's boat all the time
I lived on the Florida Gulf panhandle in the seventies. Avon made a product called Skin-So-Soft that kept the No-see-ums away. Should still work if they haven't changed the formula.
I’ve heard of that as well, havnt tried it yet though. Thanks for the tip
How many inches do u eat that u keep measuring?
What rod/reel combo are you using?
Hey. I enjoyed your video, and look forward to moving to NC. About the gnats: get you some American Beautyberry bushes, and plant them around your porch. Take a glass jar, and fill it with the leaves. Next, fill the jar full of leaves with the cheapest, nastiest vodka you can find, unless your local pharmacy has 90% ETHYL alcohol (isopropyl won't work). Let this sit for about a 7-day week. Then add an essential oil that smells good, and this will not only repel gnats, but skeeters, fleas, ticks, chiggers, and all stripes of biting flies. Only trouble is that most blood sucking parasites are attracted by carbon dioxide, and may target your face. Something like a horse flymask?
Thanks for the advice! NC Has some great sheep fishing what I hear
What size weight do you use for the nearshore rigs during March? If feels like the weights just drift down so much slower on those rigs when you have the tide pulling on the line and pulling the bait off the rig. 1/2 oz?
I use the same 1/8oz weight out there as well. I’ll throw way up current up the rig and let it drift back to the structure. If I don’t get a bite by the time it passes the rig I’ll re throw and do the same thing. It looks more natural than say a 1/2oz or 3/8oz and I usually catch more that way
How long will sheepshead hang around like that ?? Forgot to ask earlier in my comment. Thanks your the best!
Until the local commercial fishermen catch them up or the water temperature warms up most likely.
I do a lot of commercial mullet fishing. I use dryer sheets to keep the noseeums off for me, I don't know why but they don't like it
Nice, that sounds easy if it works. You just stick them in your pockets?
Avon skin so soft spray works amazing for mosquitoes and gnats. We just bought a place on west fowl river and that’s the only way we have been able to be outside during the fall. Just need to inform your wife before hand to stay out of the dog house.
Skin So Soft is the only thing I've found that really works.
Thanks for the pro tip as far as letting the wife know why you smelling like perfume! 😂😂
Wel looks like I’ll be ordering some Avon 😅
@@CaptCollier you ain’t fishing the winter classic?
@@jeffreymcelhany9878 nosir. I needed a break from them trout. They make me angry sometimes
Skin so soft works 💯 %
